Between enum and union, I tend to favor enum, for a simple

I agree. log_err was a kludge and I'd prefer to un-kludge it before
shipping rather than adding another keyword. Multiple log-levels is the
way to go. Macro if there's something relatively easy, or just keep
'log' as compiler-supported, but extend the syntax and include a bunch
of log-level

Likely yes. Though we should offer a compiler flag / crate attribute to
disable the auto-import of it.

Also relevant here: log_err was originally added as a stopgap
temporary solution, with the idea being that logging eventually would
be a more primitive operation where you specified both a log level
and a message, and there would be a macro that'd help you do this in a
more nice-looking way. We

If you want something shorter than variant, here are a few, well,
variants:
- sum
- cases
- choice
- tags
